Many ideas from jQuery became part of ES6 (e.g. manipulating/traversing DOM ) or CSS (animations) that are more performant, in theory at least.
React is a different story.
I mean one could replace some of jQuery constructions with native ES6 or CSS3 and still things remain vanilla JS without any frameworks on top of that.
Should you switch? Not necessarily. But you could adopt ES6.
